Just make sure they fit over your 380mm front brakes - 19” Jag wheels do, but 18” don’t. If you have CCBs, then 20”+ are required, I think.

And not all 20", AIUI.

Only two types of OEM Jag wheels fit over the CCM brakes, both 20" - Storm and Maelstrom.

They dont get much concave-r than this https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/f...talled-203620/

I dont think Vorsteiner make them any more but the specs should be useful, I have seen others that look similar.

I copied the setup (didnt lower my car) and my 2 bob's worth:

1. go aftermarket forged if you can, the handling difference is immense as OEM wheels seem to be made out of lead. Even OEM forged are heavy;
2. 21's in the right tyre give a ride similar to 19's in the p zero. I have tried Michelin pss's and now ps4's the ride is excellent in both;
3. oversize the tyres a touch if you can to get more rim protection. I'm now running on the same tyres as come OEM on the Macan and AMG GLC (I think), mine are Benz spec but please dont tell anyone. They are the same except for a few letters on the tyre. So the rears are 305/30/R21, I might be insane but I genuinely think that slight increase in the rear height over the previous 25 has led to slightly more scraping of the scrape guard under the front bumper;
4. 21's look epic in my opinion, if looks are part of the equation I would definitely go for them, and there is no bump steer or other negative aspects - maybe slightly more jiggly in dynamic on a very bad road.

I have carried on before and will no doubt again, but I reckon the forged 21's with michelin rubber transformed the car, it is the best money I have ever spent on a mod.
